Summary
Detail-oriented administrative professional with expertise in Microsoft Excel, database management, and document control. Demonstrated success in maintaining organized systems and effectively managing confidential information. Proven track record of enhancing operational efficiency through meticulous attention to detail.
I started working with Advanced Education & Employment in July 1998, right after I graduated high school. I worked in the mailroom. I was doing data entry for Student Services and Support Services. As my knowledge grew, I started procurement orders for different departments.
The reason for my departure from Advanced Education & Employment was the change in government. I was offered a package settlement to step away from my position in 2012–2013. I had an upcoming back surgery and three children at home, so I decided to take the settlement, get my back surgery, and then stay at home and raise my children. Now that my children are grown, I would love the chance to work and prove myself once again in the department. Detail-oriented administrative professional with expertise in Microsoft Excel, database management, and office administration. Proven ability to streamline office operations and enhance customer relationship management.
